[Dr Morbius]

Most of you guys have seen my 20 dollar prop from last year, Wilfed. He was cool, but he used an oscillating fan for his neck movements, and all his controls were manually controlled by switches. This time, he got servos. This vid is a test of his progress. Jaw will be hooked up this weekend, and he will be fleshed out. I wonder who he will be talking to?

Nice Doc!

 

[Evil Bob]

Very cool, Dr. Morbius!

 

[slightlymad]

Nice upgrades Doc

 

[slimy]

Good job Doc M.

Your three axis mech looks great inside Wilfred.

 

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks guys.. No three axis mech here, slimy....Just 2. This is a completely different mech. This 2 axis mech is located under the skull...not in it. The only servos inside the skull are the eye mech, and jaw. This is a fun build, as it was so much easier than the 3 axis. I still have the 3 axis skull sitting on my work bench.

 

[SpookySam]

Wow...looks great. Are you going to have his vocabulary be creepy or slanted toward humorous?

 

[Dr Morbius]

Funny you should ask that, SpookySam! He will be holding another prop..it will talk as well, so as Wilfred is trying to be seriously creepy and forboding,the other prop will annoy him with humorous retorts. The banter will be quite entertaining!

 

[Otaku]

Looking good, Dr. M! And yeah, what's he gonna be saying to the kids?

 

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks Otaku...The script isn't finalized yet, but it will be something along the lines of:

Wilfred: "...and the darkness of the night hides the horrors of the unseen.."
Other Prop: (interupts).."What darkness? I can see just fine!...oh, sorry, go on, you're doing just fine."
Wilfred: "..As I was saying, beware the gouls and graves, for those that dare to enter the unknown sanctum..."
Other Prop: (interupting again). "..SANCTUM??! HAHAHA! That sounds like something a doctor examines when you're on the table belly down! HAHAHAH!"
Wilfred: (becoming quite annoyed).."Are you quite though? I'm trying to speak to our guests....."

You get the idea.

 

[SpookySam]

Sounds great! You'll probably draw quite a crowd. Is the dialog going to be set to repeat over and over or be triggered by a viewer?

 

[buckaneerbabe]

I'm sorry to say I havn't had the pleasure to meet good old Wilfred. I sure do like the new Wilfred though. Very cool! I love what you did with the eye movement. And with that script, sounds like it's turning out to be another crowd pleaser.

 

[Sickie Ickie]

Looks good Doc. I gotta try those servos at some point.

 

[Dr Morbius]

Sounds great! You'll probably draw quite a crowd. Is the dialog going to be set to repeat over and over or be triggered by a viewer?

It'll probably be set to loop, SS. I get so many Toters, a trigger would be pointless.

 

[DeathTouch]

What software are you using for that?

 

[heresjohnny]

That gonna be sweet when it's done Doc. The prop Wilfred II (or is it Wilfred Jr?) will be holding, animated also?

 

[Dr Morbius]

DT, it's running on VSA.

HJ, it'll be holding this:http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=6652

 

[buckaneerbabe]

Even cooler yet. I was wondering what you were going to do with your lantern hack. Great idea.

 

[Dr Morbius]

I actually had the Lantern hack in mind specifically for this prop. I wanted an unusual pairing of talking props, and this fit the bill nicely.

DOCTOR! That is just freakin cool! Way to go, man!!!!!
